It was these who disbelieved and prevented you from the Sacred Mosque, and stopped the sacrificial animals from reaching their place; and were it not for some Muslim men and Muslim women, whom you do not know – lest you may crush them and unintentionally incur some violation due to them – Allah would have permitted you to slay them; this relief for them, is so that Allah may admit into His mercy whomever He wills; and had they been separated, We would have indeed punished the disbelievers among them with a painful punishment.
Merekalah orang-orang yang kafir yang menghalangi kamu dari (masuk) Masjidil Haram dan menghalangi hewan korban sampai ke tempat (penyembelihan)nya. Dan kalau tidaklah karena laki-laki yang mukmin dan perempuan-perempuan yang mukmin yang tiada kamu ketahui, bahwa kamu akan membunuh mereka yang menyebabkan kamu ditimpa kesusahan tanpa pengetahuanmu (tentulah Allah tidak akan menahan tanganmu dari membinasakan mereka).
